Undergoes surgery for ACL, meniscus
Covey posted Tuesday on his personal Twitter account that he underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL and meniscus.
ANALYSIS
Covey appeared to suffer a serious knee injury in Utah's loss to Washington on Nov. 30 in the Pac-12 Championship Game, but Utes coach Kyle Whittingham didn't provide many updates on the wideout's situation beyond ruling him out for the Dec. 31 matchup with Northwestern in the Holiday Bowl. With Covey now revealing the nature behind his absence, it's possible the rising junior's status for the start of the 2019 season could be impacted. Though timelines for ACL and meniscus injuries can vary, it's probably safe to pencil in Covey for at least a six-month recovery period, which would prevent him from participating in spring ball.
